i did a search of web comic hosting sites and of the ones that popped up, drunk duck was the easiest to get my comic online =now= versus having to wait. also it has proven to be very easy (user friendly) and i would recommend it to anyone that had a comic that they wanted people to see and no website to host it on (and no need for any design knowledge either).

Why Did You Choose Drunk Duck to Host Your Comic?
I chose Drunk Duck because it is the most user-friendly of the free webcomic host sites.
You see… I am a compuTARD. Drunk Duck is accessible for folks like me who think "html" is an alien language. lol!
I do still have a webcomic at Comic Genesis titled WHACKED! But I am lucky enough to have a team member who knows the discombobulating html language.
This site was actually recommended to me a couple of days ago, and I was a little iffy because usually sites like this are a bear to set up for new users like me, who know absolutely jack about setting up a website. But after taking a look around, I saw it looked simple to set up (and it is! Hooray!) and the community seemed friendly, which is another huge plus for me.
And yeah, it's free. Free is good. =3
Hey all. I really enjoy posting my stuff up here. I find the users are real supportive and there are a bunch of talented people out there. I appreciate the comments and hope that everyone is being honest. Please visit Galactic Grem and let me know what you think. I will continue working on his story so if anyone has constructive comments please feel free to leave them. Thanks.
I heard of Drunk Duck through the VG Cats comic. He had put in his "How to make a comic" section or something similar to that, anyway he referenced this place as a great place to host so here I am and I am glad I came! If I had to start all over of course I could come here. This place is great! Much better than what I was doing on my own lol
Well My decision to join DD was a fairly impulsive one. I noticed on Comic Space that one of my friends had a comic hosted on DD and that it was free.
Figured what the hey I'd give it a shot too, sure beat paying for my own site, of which Im not too well at managing.
And here I am. Pretty happily at that. Very nice niche` here. You'd have to scrape me outta here with a spatula to make me switch someplace else.B)
I stumbled on DD by way of one of my networking contacts on MySpace- Platinum Studios! Whose attention I was hoping to grab someday. I thought, what better wat to do that than start a web-comic on their newly purchased site? So I started planning everything out and looking for an artist and here I am!
I do agree with the "community" feeling and "feedback" comments other have left, so i definitely would do it again.
I forgot the first time I ran into Druck Duck. Yeah, that's extremely helpful for this topic.
If I was to have only one webcomic host, I would stick with the Druck Duck. It's got a lot more good comics than some other places I know of.
Before I downloaded Imagicon, I had no other choice but to stick with Smack Jeeves. But as soon as I did download it, I ported my webcomic over to here so I could share it with everyone here and show them what they were missing out on.
I could also post my webcomic on my website if I wanted, but that doesn't really count.
I first decided to put my webcomic on my own website (it's actually there as well as on DD now), but I realized it would never get any exposure at all unless I put it on one of the dedicated webcomics websites. So, I went searching. I found 5 sites that looked promising. One, your comic had to be voted in, and if it wasn't, you were ridiculed and publicly embarrassed in their forum with a big DENIED tag… so, it was out. One was a members-only site that had only about 20 webcomics and were charging people to read those, so it was out. One seemed to be populated only by 13 year olds, so it was out. So, it came down to 2 good ones… Comic Genesis and Drunk Duck… in the end, I thought DD had a better search engine and the site design seemed a little better at exposing comics to new readers, so I went with DD. That simple: a cold, calculated business decision. I think DD can do more for me and my webcomic than any other site on the net.
Because ComicGenesis won't work on my computer and my computer's too slow to download FTP, I needed to find somewhere else to host my comic. I stumbled upon DrunkDuck while searching for free comic-hosting sites and I signed up for it, then actually put the comic up after a failed attempt at getting ComicGenesis to work.
I found DD through the belfry web comics index. It looked cool, and the forums showed how to help and bring your artwork out to become better. Plus being a free hoster was just too good to resist.
I wanted to get my own space, but DD makes it easy to get my stuff posted and there are already people that are willing to help, critique, and share their knowledge on how to get a comic finished and posted so that others can see it, instead of my ideas and stories just rotting in my brain where it does no good…
Plus people post how they create their comics, which is good since I'm still learning how to make mine look better refined and more comic-ish.
I remembered how I happened before I started hosting the comic on Drunk Duck. I read the other Comics before I know "Sprite Comic", Garfield, Peanuts, and Spiderman, and other comics I couldn't remember. I was thinking that I can just google Comics to read. Until I found something Called "Web Comic" I think it should be cool. Then I started reading comics, including Sprite Comics like Bob & George, Zebeth, and Galactic Academy. The non-sprite comic I read is Dragon-Tails, because they are very awesome!
I kept reading those, including the Sprite Comic, until I am ready to do a Sprite Comic. I first made a Sprite for my author as a Main Character. I like to do Comics so I can show How good I can do. I started doing comics at May 24th 2006, only with sprites. But before I did Sprite Comic on Drunkduck, I did some Sprite Comic Practice for fun on the other computer that has Windows 95, using 8-bit Sprites, 16-bit Sprites, 32-bit Sprites, 8-bit Background, 16-bit Background, and 32-bit Background, where I do Crossovers. I couldn't do comic on Comicgenesis because I don't know the Phone Number, and I couldn't do Drawing Comics cause I am no good at Drawing.(Maybe it's because I suck at Art)
Well DD is a place where new artists or artists who can't afford webspace can put their art up for people to see. Besides the few spammers, DD has a great community and I have made friends from here.
I have been on here since 2003 and have seen many changes. I even left three times.
Once because I was younger and couldn't take criticism.
Two, because people were spamming my comic
Three, the site crashed.
But I love the duck and I always come back. Volte is a great guy for making this and letting new people get their start. I hope as time goes on DD gets even bigger and better.
DD loks pretty spiffy since the redesign, and Platinum Studios' backing seemed like a good chance to come to the attention of a publisher (I do plan to publish). Also I can't do html even if my very life depended on it, so Drunkduck's system seemed easy enough. But the thing that made me choose DD was the featured comic list. It ignited my ego, cause I don't want to do a comic. I want to do a featured comic. Not a chance at this rate, but maybe in the future…
